The application of Remote Sensing Technologies to River and Marine Oil Pollution and Public Dispute

Absrtact
Due to limited resources and high density of population in Taiwan, the large-scale pollution is normally accompanied with public dispute and environmental disaster. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task to perform afield investigation when a large-scale pollution happens. In order to locate the spread areas of the pollution, this study integrates spatial data collection and processing technologies to help collect evidence of pollution and monitor the polluted areas. The main objective of this project is to use the existing remote sensing technologies and internet communications system to aid the data collection when public dispute and River、marine oil pollution occur. The following tasks are achieved in the project: The Utility of Remote Sensing Technology in Monitoring to River and Offshore Oil pollution 1.The NCU project’s team has setup an emergency communication network between NCU and EPA. The team has provided communication network and remote sensing systems to take part in the marine training and data collection exercise for eleven times during the project period. 2.A constant monitoring of the marine enviroment of Taiwan’s surrounding areas has been carried out in the project period. Three suspectable pollution cases have been detected and transferred for the in situ investigation. 3.Compiling the information of ships monitoring technology in three advanced countries, and revising the investigation assessment process for ships monitoring around of Taiwan’s maritime area. The Utility of Remote Sensing Technology to deal with dispute for Environmental Pollution 1.In this year, the NCU Project time has executed 12 investigations to co-operate with EPA’s need. 2.Using FS-2 Satellite for surrounding environmental monitoring, and setting up PTZ cameras for emission monitoring from industrial chimneys in Jungli and Guanyin Industrial Parks for long-term monitoring. 3.With the long-term monitoring results of Jungli and Guanyin Industrial Parks in this project and other remote sensing technologist in other countries in monitoring field, to make the recommendations for periodical monitoring of air and water pollution in industrial parks with Remote Sensing Technology. 4.Coordinate the training courses for local government’s EPA to improve their investigation ability.
